Cornhole

Post by Turkeytop » Mon Feb 05, 2024 1:33 pm

So, they're playing a game here now they call cornhole. I'm old enough to remember when cornhole was a vulgar term. If you had asked some guy to play cornhole you might have got a punch in the mouth.

Now, it seems, it's a legitimate sport. How long until we see it in the Olympics?


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

I doubt it will make the Olympics, but I hear Buttphuk Bingo is in the running.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

You would think that would have made it in the original Greek Olympics.

I've played that since I was a kid. But it seems it started getting called Cornhole only in the last 10 or 15 years. I think we called it Beanbag. The boards were all homemade back then. Never seen anyone selling them at flea markets or craft shows like now.

If you're really curious, they now televise it on ESPN.... It's now a professional competitive sport, vaseline is a major sponsor.

Thank you so much for this reply! I thought I was the only one who thought cornhole was strange word for this game.

When I was a kid, too, it was called “Beanbag Toss”
We had a set. I think the boards had a clown and the holes were buttons on his costume.

I remember living south of here for a while and it seems the word cornhole was of rural or southern origin.

Perhaps they felt that beanbagging needed a name change after the bad rap teabagging got.

Maybe it’s replaced bowling as the sport for ex-bowlers.

We could add golf to that list. Darts too.
If people often drink beer and smoke while playing the "sport" its not much of a sport.

Not all of us ponder Montel by the warm glow of the toaster oven.

You should really give it a try.
